Hudson River Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

A really nice walk along the Hudson. Also many pedestrians and surprises (be careful). If you can, drive onto the Washington Bridge and see Manhattan

Hudson River Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Hudson River Greenway is a great adventure and a treasure. Depending on the weather and day it can be very populated with cyclists and joggers. That too is enjoyable.

Fort Lee Park View

Highlight • Viewpoint

Park on a hill just off the Washington Bridge with great views of Manhattan. The small detour here is definitely worth it.

Manhattan View at George Washington Bridge Entrance

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is great, no question about it, actually as well as from the whole bridge. However, it is topped by Fort Lee Park, which is just south of the bridge. The few meters for the detour are worth it.

Hudson River Drive

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

In summer you don't see much of the Hudson due to the lush vegetation, but the trail is still a pleasure. Asphalted, so easy to drive on, only slight inclines …

Piermont Railway Station (historic)

Highlight • Historical Site

A restored 19th-century train station building at the start of a beautiful gravel trail. You can find many other interesting details on the photographed information board, but you should still go there.

Fort Washington Park Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Quite far from the center and the "usual" sights, but easy to reach with a rental bike. A pleasant change after the houses and asphalt sea of Manhattan.

Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

Highlight • Monument

If you have time, you should definitely plan a detour to the aircraft carrier. I have visited him several times in the meantime. Worth it.

And the whole thing with a bike that others wouldn't even use to go to the beer garden and three instead of the promised 21 gears! Oh yeah, was a steal, only $50 rental! 🤣
